This morning we headed north through the Kananaskis Valley on our way to the Bar U Ranch. Most of our group walked down to the various buildings of a working cattle ranch. Our guide was very informative. He worked in the leather shop, making saddles, belts, etc.
The rest of our group rode down in a horse-drawn wagon. The horses were Percherons. They were originally war horses from France but are now used as work horses. We were told there are more of them in the US and Canada than the Clydesdales that we usually see pulling wagons.

After lunch at the Bar U Ranch, we headed to Two Jack Lake.

On the way back to our hotel we spotted this bear foraging for food.

You guys saw a lot of those goats!! Those are the same horses that pulled our wagon to the western cookout in Yellowstone. Cool!!
